Nowhere in Scotland’s biggest city, nor perhaps in the Northern Hemisphere, has seen what the Pavilion has seen in its 118 unbroken years.
behind its imposing terra cotta facade, one troubled only by the lick of a nearby inferno in 2018 or the gloomy spectre of closure amid heavy financial losses in 1981.
The stories from across the decades are legendary.
Or Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds; Texas; Ant & Dec; Del Amitri; Hipsway; Rory Gallagher; Lloyd Cole and the Commotions and the Krankies to name a few. And then there’s been the gold-standard heckles, a compilation of which could resemble The Bible in page numbers. A pastel-suit wearing Edwyn Collins getting told he was wearing their f*****g suit while reminiscing about seeing Francie and Josie in the Pavilion while mid-gig; and comedian Mike Winters following his brother Bernie onto stage to a cry of “Aw naw, there’s two ae them” a mere example.
As a breeding ground for some of the most successful stage stars in the UK and cornerstone of Glaswegian - and Scottish - entertainment, it’s defied the odds to entertain audiences and remained relatively unchanged for well over a century, without losing a hint of its pure Louis X splendour and while still ‘packing them in’.
